Really dont want to give the Thai bank 150baht ATM charge (an daily Issan wage) for privilege of buying a bottle of whiskey. Was wondering if 7/11 will take the card? If not its wait till tomorrow till money arrived in thai bank account.

7-11 don't take cards as far as I am aware

I don't know if they'd take it, but wouldn't you pay a foreign transaction fee anyway?

As mightyharriss has already said, I don't think that 7-11s take plastic.

I know for definite that they do not accept Visa, even if it is issued locally.

One thing you could do is withdraw much more cash, i.e. enough to last you a few days, that way you're not using the 150 Baht charge just for the whiskey, but for (potentially) many other purchases also.

Try Aeon ATM last time I used it with foreign card there was no charge.

Lotus (Express) accepts plastic

Yes, I just found this out too. You can find an ATM near you at this link http://www.aeon.co.th/lang/en/menu/Service_Location/region/off/option/atm#branchATMForm

** You have to wait a few seconds after each selection before going on to the next (it is a slow script and/or connection)
